Hooks Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Cool spot and all but it really makes no sense in any type of tag matches. But it is great in three-ways and whatnot. I used to do that shit back in the day... The last thing I expected was to log onto the board today and see Nikita suplexing what appears to be Jay Donaldson and Lightning Tim Lutz. Of course maybe 1 or 2 other people besides Nikita will know who I'm talking about....... maybe...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 That's all I got - now you're moving into "but why do they keep running when they're thrown at the ropes?" territory. I suppose so. Those sorts of spots always bugged me, but the general idea of the three way dance always bugged me, too. Far too much "One guy hangs around while other two do something until super cool contrived three way spot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgergabe Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Why did Vince or anyone else never sign powerlifter Doyle Kennedy? He has to have the greatest look for pro wrestling of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Probably because he was only 5'10" and thus too short to be a true hoss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sorts of spots always bugged me, but the general idea of the three way dance always bugged me, too. Far too much "One guy hangs around while other two do something until super cool contrived three way spot." Oh, I HATE three ways, though! Hahaha. We had one last weekend where the guys knew they were the main and wanted to do some big shit, so they came up with a bunch of barely-practiced mega-contrived spots (I seen 'em try some before the show and already got a bad feeling), most of which crashed and burned. Also, for a 3-way to work, you just need sick ass workers who can improvise if need be. It hurts when you see something go wrong and know the guys are struggling to get back on their little script. (It does in general, of course, but 3/4-ways are a recipe for that shit.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I love that just when you think this thread can't get any better, someone will post a picture of Finlay on a horse holding a rifle. EDIT: And wearing a track suit! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yeah, that is really what his hand looks like. On a side note I found out that there is a Mexican hardcore punk band called Mocho Cota and I really have to find out what they sound like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoarr Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Goldberg was and will always be awesome: Goldberg: WCW World Heavyweight Champion *Click Here to Enlarge* Speaking of Goldberg, I got him and Stone Cold Steve Austin to start talking shit to each other today by tweeting out an old cover of Cracked magazine: "WWF vs WCW" - Cracked Magazine #334 [May 1999] *Click Here to Enlarge* Their response? If you told teenage me that I could use the computer fifteen years down the line to talk to my favorite wrestlers, I'd think you were nuts. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubtingELDANDY Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 That is cool as shit. I would always get those wrestling themed Cracked or Mad magazines. That late 90's wrestling boom was pretty awesome. I still have some wrestling TV Guides from my Grandma somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatistaWasRight Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Also, Bill has a bullet going through his head in that picture. I really loved Goldberg back in the day, but I soured on him after his WWE return. The way he left, it made me think he only wrestled for money, and that made me regret cheering him.
